Cover Me Up (Apple Music Sessions)

Heart on the run, keeps a hand on a gun

Can't trust anyone

I was so sure what I needed was more

Tried to shoot out the sun

Days when we raged, we flew off the page

Such damage was done

Oh, but I made it through, 'cause somebody knew

I was meant for someone

Girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room

Till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom

It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood

Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress

In Richmond on high

Oh, but I sobered up, I swore off that stuff

Forever this time

And the old lover's sing, "I thought it'd be me

Who'd help him get home"

But home was a dream, one I'd never seen

Till you came along

Girl, hang your dress up to dry, we ain't leavin' this room

Till Percy Priest breaks open wide and the river runs through

And carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood

Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

Girl, leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin' this room

Till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom

It's cold in this house and I ain't goin' out to chop wood

Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

Cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
